Acropolis figures from SimTac?
« on: March 08, 2014, 08:20:37 AM »
I have a few Acropolis Sci-Fi figures from the early nineties, I bought them through SimTac years ago.  Is that line still around? Did anyone buy them?

The Acropolis ranges were part of Scotia/Grendel.  They were bought a few years ago by "Baggage Train" but I have no idea if they are still going, last website update was 2013.

Thanks, I already visited your blog not long ago  :D

I was searching for info on the minis. I was also in contact with Paul, he seems like a super nice bloke.

As he wrote to me, too bad there was no internet back then, so it was hard for him to spread the info and such.

I check out the site and I can't believe there are no picture of the miniatures.  Blind buying is not an option for me.
